Axl Rose Fumes After Fan Throws Drink at Him

GUNS N’ ROSES frontman AXL ROSE was left fuming at a Brisbane, Australia concert when a fan unhappy with the band’s late arrival onstage threw a drink at him.
Rose and his bandmates took the Brisbane Entertainment Center stage at 11.45pm on Wednesday (20Jun07), angering fans who had paid up to AUS$175 ($150/£75) to attend.
Seconds into opening song Welcome To The Jungle, a can of drink narrowly missed Rose, although its contents still managed to splatter the singer.
He told the crowd, “Is that what you want? You want a battle. If you’re going to act like that, then you know I don’t have to be here.” Rose proceeded to walk offstage throughout the set, forcing his bandmates to improvise extended solos to cover his absence, reports the Sydney Daily Telegraph.

Jesus! GnR fans drank the freaking Kool-Aid! I’ve never seen such a list of excuses and pathetic rationalizations for someone who was moderately talented in Screaming 101, Slurring 102, and Assh*le 101 and 102. Now that’s my opinion and I’ll never convince you I’m right.

Your opinion is that Axl and GnR rule and you will never change your opinion. Music is subjective, meaning it’s good IF someone likes it. It may be technically great, but for most it is how the song makes them feel.

GnR and Axl make me feel like hurling. They are full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

I seen Axl last Oct. in Tampa Fl. Sebastian opened for him. It was a Wed. night..Axl didn’t come out until close to midnight. I followed Axl all over up north & this was 1 of the best shows he put on ! He STILL sang awesome & looked as HOT as ever, also I don’t think he needs Slash ( even though Slash is Awesome ) he’s still got it & I think the new songs are true Axl. Anyone that is a G `N R, sorry, Axl fan knows how Axl is….All good comes to those who wait !!! Axl fan forever..love you Axl !!

Soft drink bottles were also banned in Adelaide, they had a supply of cups as you walked in. I’d have preferred to throw a cup. I was right at the front, and Rose Tattoo and Sebastian were awesome. GnR was meh – if he called it ‘Axl Rose’ I would think he had more integrity, the new songs all kind of suck, I left half way through, although I did just sit outside and come back in when he played an old song.

He played almost entirly Appetite of Destruction songs, I don’t get why he needs three guitarists and two keyboard players to do that. People I spoke to there, agreed that it was kind of lame. It’s the first concert ever that I didn’t buy any merch.

He came on around midnight in Adelaide, anyone who paid any attention would have known that was the deal. Which makes him an asshole, he can sleep in, but his fans will mostly have jobs.

This happened at the tuesday night concert not wednesday. I was at wednesday and it was a fantastic concert. Sebastian Bach rocked – outshined axl. All softdrink bottles were banned for wednesday and only paper cups were allowed.

It would be really great if Axl would just dry up and blow away…
I’ve never liked him, not because of his singing, but because of how he acts towards and treats his “fans”.
Axl Rose is a complete ass hole……
